I have played formby, but never the ladies! It is supposed to be shorter and tighter... That's me pretty much screwed! Looking forward to it all the same. What time you hoping to arrive?!?

I played it a few weeks back with LB and Louise. It's a cracking course, you'll definately enjoy it.
i wouldn't say the fairways were tight but if your missing them there's a lot of gorse waiting to punish on most holes. I'd say the fairways were reasonably generous. As you'd expect you don't need to be bombing the driver of every tee.
Theres a couple of really inviting par 3s and absolutely stunning par 4 (think its the 11th) Lots of elevated tees, and Pine lined fairways, all in all a really enjoyable course.
Looking forward to it...lets hope the sun shows up.
Looking to get there about 10:30ish:thup:

I'm out for Saturday, got the lad and taking him to my home track on Sunday so day doing chores tomorrow.
Dont want to steal the thread but those who have played NWN how do you rate it 1 - 10 for variety, condition and greens.?
Ta Hope you all have a top knock, it may get a bit breezey tomorrow.

think there is just the 4 definites so far louise. will you know if you can make it in the morning?
NWN is a great wee course. plenty of different holes. the farways are in good nick. greens havnt been great to putt on any time ive played but that was only because of the rain that closed every other golf course in liverpool. it has a infamous putting green that many claim becomes the fastest in the land during the summer. i can only imagine what the real greens are like when they are baked and playing fast.
it has a 640 yard par 5 off the back sticks. thats enough hole for any of the big hitters on here! great value at around £20. it used to be £80 when it first opened. you can see why when you play!

THIS IS THE VOICE OF EVERYONES CONSCIENCE:-
THOU SHALT NOT BE TEMPTED INTO NIPPING OVER ONTO THE BIG BROTHER COURSE AFTER PLAYING THE LADIES COURSE, TO GET IN A BIT OF PRACTICE AHEAD OF THE MARCH MEET.
How do you do a god-like booming voice on a forum?
Enjoy Formby ladies - its is enjoyable for a tarts course - sorry Louise!

Good to meet you Gary, and well played Junior! +3 that's some good golf fella :thup:
Ive got a feeling that after the meet in March Formby is going to be my new favourite course....From what I've seen I can't fault the place!
Oh, and myself and Karl got a bit starstruck after seeing what looked like the legend Ken Barlow in the clubhouse
Good to see you all again, roll on West Lancs.
